What we loved
Guides who enjoy their work. The guides were knowledgeable and excited about their jobs, which was lovely to see.
Care and kindness. The team was accommodating and kind and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the whole way through. I had a back injury and they took excellent care of me.
The view and the story. The 360-degree views from the top are a highlight, and the history and architecture facts shared on the climb add to it.
Something to take home. Free photos and videos of your climb are included. Gift certificates are also available if you'd like to give the experience to someone else.
Good to know before you book

The bottom line
Friendly guides, big views and the option of a 60km/h zip line make Matagarup Zip and Climb a great way to see Perth from a new height, whether you are chasing a thrill or simply a very good view.
